About Rugby Canada

Rugby Football has a long history in Canada dating back to its initial appearance in the 1860’s. Since 1974 Rugby Canada has been a permanent fixture on the global rugby scene, including trips to each of the six IRB Rugby World Cups. As a regular on the IRB Sevens Circuit, Canada continues to climb the world rankings and challenge the dominant rugby nations in both versions of the game.

To support the growth of rugby at the grass-roots level and to ensure there are elite programs for prospering young rugby players to become involved with, Rugby Canada has put an emphasis on developing its junior programs. Our goal is to develop and train a competitive team for the Toronto 2015 Pan American Games and the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

We also continue to be a world leader in the development of women’s rugby. Currently the women’s teams at the national, club and high school levels are flourishing all across the country.

Your support through a donation to Rugby Canada will allow us to continue developing the best possible men’s and women’s teams who compete domestically and internationally for Canada.
